This is the Official Page of Eastern Michigan University's Cello Studio. EMU CELLO provides our young artists with exceptional musical training and a broad range of learning opportunities to lead vibrant careers in the arts. We encourage each of our cellists to be resourceful, entrepreneurial, and active ambassadors of art in their communities. With the expertise of Professor Pae, each cellist rec

eives one-on-one personalized instruction, which hones and strengthens students’ aural, technical, and musical abilities alongside guided career mentorship. Cellists also participate in a weekly studio class as an extension of their lessons, which is a nurturing avenue for reinforcing and developing practical, achievable artistic and pedagogical goals; cello ensemble, performances on- and off-campus, and a number of engaging activities at the University. If you want to be part of this incredible team and arrange a visit to EMU CELLO, please be in touch with Prof.
